Seduction: The Cruel Woman
Summary
Wanda (Mechthild Großmann) is a dominatrix who runs an S/M performance space in Hamburg where she stages elaborate sexual rituals for a discerning audience. Cruelty is her profession, but constructing traps for her lovers--including the lovelorn Gregor (Udo Kier), the naive and innocent Justine (Sheila McLaughlin), and the jaded Caren (Carola Regnier)--is her specialty. All know the rules of the game, but not all are willing to play their roles--but the show must go on…Inspired by the writings of the Baron Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, Monika Treut and Elfi Mikesch's SEDUCTION: THE CRUEL WOMAN (Verführung: Die grausame Frau) is a coolly sensual tribute to masochism and obsession in all of its forms, and a seminal work of lesbian cinema.
